Council on 22 May 1856, (by then the upper house of the New South Wales parliament) whilst remaining a judge of the Supreme Court. He retired on a pension in 1859, in England. Therry's Reminiscences of Thirty Years Residence in New South Wales and Victoria was published in February 1863, and immediately withdrawn. Reviews of the book in the United Kingdom were favourable and demand was high; a second edition was proposed by the publisher. The new edition, published in April 1863, was not, however, an "expurgated version" as has been stated. Some errors were corrected, but the changes are not considerable. The most important changes were the fuller justice given to the work of three governors, Gipps, Charles Augustus FitzRoy, and Charles La Trobe, and the addition of a map. In October 1863, Therry heard about the criticism of the book in Sydney where it had become unsaleable. Therry was one of the first members of the Senate of Sydney University. Therry died in Bath, Somerset, England on 17 May 1874. He was survived by Lady Therry and at least three children; a son entered the army and served in India, one daughter married a British navy officer and another daughter entered Subiaco Convent, on Subiaco Creek. Therry was knighted in 1869.
